Three Steps and You're Done

Enroll and Verify Your Identity

Create your account and upload a valid government-issued photo ID. Ohio requires identity verification before you start any coursework. Curtice residents in Ottawa County follow the same ODPS enrollment rules as every other Ohio county - no exceptions and no shortcuts around this step.

Work Through the Course Lessons

The course runs through text and image-based interactive lessons with a quiz after each section. A 10-minute break is required after every two consecutive hours of instruction, and that break time does not count toward your total. Your progress saves automatically after each section so you can log out and pick up later.

Pass the Final Exam and Get Your Certificate

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. You need a 75% to pass, and you have two attempts - one per calendar day. Pass it, and your BMV Form 5789 certificate generates instantly. The full course meets the state-mandated 8 hours minimum required under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Is Done

For suspension and court-ordered cases, nothing moves forward until the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course certificate lands at the BMV or the court clerk. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket on an already-loaded record can push the total past 12 and trigger a suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. The state also gives you 30 days from enrollment to finish - miss that window and you pay a reinstatement fee and start over from scratch.

Questions Curtice Drivers Ask Before Enrolling

Who actually has to take the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course, and what is the difference between a court order and taking it for a 2-point credit?

Five categories of Ohio drivers qualify under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. First, drivers with 2 to 11 points on their record who want a 2-point credit applied as a cushion against future tickets. Second, drivers reinstating a license suspended for hitting 12 or more points under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. Third, drivers with a court order requiring the remedial program. Fourth, drivers 19 or older reinstating due to a juvenile suspension that happened before age 18. Fifth, drivers under 21 reinstating after an alcohol-related OVI or OVUAC suspension. Court-ordered completions do not generate a 2-point credit - the certificate goes to the court clerk, not the BMV point system. Curtice residents submit to the Ottawa County Clerk of Courts or the BMV depending on which situation applies.

What does the 2-point credit actually do for my driving record, and how often can I use it?

The 2-point credit does not remove existing points or erase violations from your Ohio record. Only an Ohio court can do that. What the credit does is apply a 2-point reduction to your current point total, creating a cushion before the next ticket pushes you toward the 12-point suspension threshold under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. The credit stays valid for three years from the date the BMV processes your certificate. You can earn it once every three years, up to five times in a lifetime. After passing the course, you submit BMV Form 5789 to the BMV - the nearest full-service BMV office to Curtice is in Oregon, Ohio, roughly 15 miles east on State Route 2. The credit posts to your record after BMV processing.

What happens if I do not finish the course within 30 days of enrolling?

The state requires completion within 30 days of enrollment under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. Miss that window and the course resets entirely. You pay a reinstatement fee and start the full course over from the beginning - no credit carries over for sections you already finished. For drivers in a suspension situation, that also means the license stays suspended longer while you restart. For 2-point credit cases, the clock keeps running on your point total while you wait to re-enroll. The practical move is to start the first lesson within a day or two of enrolling and keep a consistent pace. There is no daily study cap, so you can work through multiple hours in a single sitting if your schedule allows.

How fast do I get the certificate after passing the final exam, and where do I send it?

The certificate - BMV Form 5789 - generates as an instant digital PDF the moment you pass the final exam. No waiting, no mailing delay. For a 2-point credit, you submit it to the Ohio BMV. The closest full-service BMV location to Curtice is in Oregon, Ohio, approximately 15 miles away via State Route 2. For a court-ordered case, you submit it to the court that issued the order - Ottawa County residents typically deal with the Ottawa County Clerk of Courts in Port Clinton, about 20 miles west of Curtice. As of the latest ODPS guidelines, the BMV processes the 2-point credit after receiving the certificate. Keep a copy of the PDF for your own records before submitting.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions and you need a 75% to pass. You get two attempts total, but only one attempt per calendar day - so if you fail on a Monday, your second try cannot happen until Tuesday. Fail both attempts and the entire course resets under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. You start over from lesson one, which also restarts your 30-day completion window. The lesson quizzes throughout the course have unlimited free retakes and you must pass each one before advancing, so by the time you reach the final exam you have already worked through the material multiple times. Take the practice material seriously, especially the driver attitude and alcohol and drug sections, which together make up at least half the curriculum.

Does completing the course remove points from my Ohio driving record?

No. The Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course does not remove points or erase violations. Under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, only an Ohio court has the authority to remove points from a driving record. What the course does for eligible drivers with 2 to 11 points is apply a 2-point credit - a reduction to the current point total that creates a buffer before the next ticket triggers a 12-point suspension. The existing violations and their original point values stay on the record. For suspension reinstatement cases, the course satisfies the ODPS requirement to restore driving privileges, but the underlying suspension and the points that caused it remain in the record history. Curtice drivers with questions about point removal should contact the Ottawa County Clerk of Courts or consult an Ohio traffic attorney.
